A00797	True relations of sundry conferences had between certaine Protestant doctours and a Iesuite called M. Fisher (then prisoner in London for the Catholique fayth:) togeather with defences of the same. In which is shewed, that there hath alwayes beene, since Christ, a visible church, and in it a visible succession of doctours & pastours, teaching the vnchanged doctrine of fayth, left by Christ and his apostles, in all points necessary to saluation and that not Protestants, but only Roman Catholiques haue had, and can shew such a visible church, and in it such a succesion of pastours and doctours, of whome men may securely learne what pointe of fayth are necessary to saluation. / By A.C.

who_o admit_v no_o certain_a and_o infallible_a mean_n and_o rule_n of_o faith_n beside_o only_a scripture_n can_v be_v infallible_o sure_a that_o they_o believe_v the_o same_o entier_fw-fr

suppose_v neither_o the_o b._n nor_o the_o chaplain_n can_v produce_v any_o text_n of_o scripture_n sufficient_a to_o assure_v one_o of_o all_o this_o and_o therefore_o he_o have_v need_n to_o seek_v

the_o jesuit_n of_o any_o rashness_n but_o the_o chaplain_n express_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o save_v faith_n and_o the_o b._n do_v as_o be_v relate_v grant_v that_o the_o la._n may_v
